Steps for creating Guide (deprecated with LiveCycle ES3) extensions

Using Flash Builder, you can go beyond the Guide customizing options available in the Guide Design perspective in Workbench. You can create Guide extensions designed to suit your specific needs. For example, a Flash developer can create a custom Guide layout control that displays Guide sections and panels in a tree structure.

The process for creating Guide extensions, whether they are Guide layouts, panel layouts, or controls, follows the same general steps:

1. Create a Flex® library project in Flash Builder (see Flex library Projects for Guide (deprecated with LiveCycle ES3) extensions).

2. Create Guide extensions as part of the Flex library project. See one of the following:

   Custom Style Sheets for (deprecated) Guides

   (Deprecated) Guide Layouts

   Panel Layouts for Guides (deprecated)

   (Deprecated) Guide Layout Controls and Field Controls

3. Compile the Flex library project to an SWC file (see Build a custom Flex library project).

4. Import the SWC file or SWF file into the Guide Design perspective in Workbench (see Reference customizations in a Guide).

5. Apply the new Guide extensions to a Guide.
